Setting the LNB skew. Megasat Caravanman 65 Premium

Setting the LNB Skew

The following settings are only for the

Caravanman 65 / 85 Premium (without

AutoSkew). An overview of the skew settings can be found on page 14.

0°

-90° +90°

Signals in the vertical (red) and horizontal (blue) line have an offset of exactly 90° to each other. Due to the different position of the satellites, depending on your location, it is possible that the signals do not meet exactly vertically and horizontally on the LNB. To adjust this, turn the LNB into the correct position to the transmitted signal. This adjustment to the LNB is called „skew adjustment“. The following figure shows the optimal setting of the

LNB. More accurate the match, the better of reception.

Troubleshooting

No Signal

• Objects such as trees, bridges, and large buildings, which are located in the angle of the satellite will lead to a loss of the signal.

• If the satellite signal is lost through severe weather conditions, the current program of the receiver is stopped (the image freeze, or disappear). If the weather conditions allow a good reception again, the TV screen will be restored.

• Make sure that the settings of the set-top box to LNB voltage is switched on. This is indicated by the green LED on the control unit (LED green = LNB voltage present).

• Only Caravanman 65 / 85 Premium (without AutoSkew)

If the antenna has not found satellites, check the Skew settings for the satellite at your location. An overview of the skew settings can be found on page 14. The basic setting of the LNB is 0°. Should they deviate more than 5°, adjust the degrees accordingly.

There is dirt on the antenna?

Excessive dirt on the housing may cause reception problems.

Everything is properly connected and turned on?

Your satellite TV receiver might be set up incorrectly or defective. First check the receiver’s configuration to ensure it is set up for the desired programming. In the case of a faulty receiver, refer to your selected receiver’s user manual for service and warranty information.

Satellite footprint

Television satellites are located in fixed positions above the Earth’s equator and beam

TV signals down to certain regions of the planet (not worldwide). To receive TV signals from a satellite, you must be located within that satellite’s unique coverage area. With the figure on page 17, you can check if you are located in the footprint of the satellite. In the outlying areas of the footprint there may be interference.

Satellite Frequency Data Changed

If some channels work, while one or more other channels do not, or if the antenna cannot find the selected satellite, the satellite’s frequency data might have changed.
